To coincide with World Press Freedom Day on May 3, CJFE is launching its annual Review of Free Expression in Canada. This year's Review highlights a serious issue in Canada: a cult of secrecy. The Review is available for download.

Chopra, Haydon and Lambert exemplify why whistleblowers should be lauded and protected. By sacrificing career and reputation to keep Canadian food safe, they’ve led the way in protecting the public good.

Ahead of Canada’s May 2 federal election, CJFE encourages you to ask your local candidates about their stance on critical free expression issues. Each week CJFE will post questions which you can e-mail, call or write to your candidates. We’d love to know what they say, and what your thoughts are too.
